The Likud has used the words "Fake news, detached from reality" to describe a claim by Yisrael Beytenu Party Chairman Avigdor Liberman that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was preparing the ground for a minority government with the support of the Arab factions after the elections.
A Likud statement said, "There hasn't been nor will there be cooperation between the Likud and the Arab parties. Prime Minister Netanyahu will work to establish a right-wing government led by the Likud."
